>>> Install unp-2.0_pre7 into /tmp/portage/app-arch/unp-2.0_pre7/image/ category app-arch !!! dobin: unp does not exist dobin failed * ERROR: app-arch/unp-2.0_pre7::gentoo failed (install phase): * dobin failed This is because the implicit S=${WORKDIR} fallback takes effect and it looks for files in the wrong directory. While at it, please bump the package to a modern EAPI. EAPI 5 would catch the error much sooner by stating openly that ${S} is incorrect.
Oh, sorry, I didn't notice the unstandard location of S= assignment. It's actually more fun than that -- it seems that sometimes bash performs '~' substitution into homedir. Using ${PV/_/\~} seems to fix that.
seems this is a behaviour change in bash 4.3. bash 4.2: export a="x"; echo "${a/x/~}" ~ bash 4.3: export a="x"; echo "${a/x/~}" /root However here it gets tricky: using \~ breaks in bash 4.2. I don't have a smart idea yet how to make this portable to work in both 4.2/4.3.
The only trick that comes into my mind is making sure that tilde isn't first character of substituted string, i.e.: ${PV/0_/0~} though that isn't very friendly. Maybe versionator.eclass...
${PV/_/"~"} doesn't work?
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #4) > ${PV/_/"~"} doesn't work? Within double quotes and in bash-4.2 it doesn't, indeed. ${PV/a/$'\x7e'} then. :)
We should put my new version syntax proposal in EAPI 7 and then the package would be named 'unp-2.0~pre7', issue solved!
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #5) > ${PV/a/$'\x7e'} then. :) That should read ${PV/_/$'\x7e'} of course. Sorry for the bug spam.
the very latest upstream version is called unp~pre7+nmu1 which requires even more version number oddness. Have something working committed now. It's not nice, but it works (I considered just hardcoding the version number). Hope this is done now, please re-open or open new bug if issues remain.
